Hi has anyone got the tabs for red haied boy  thanks

sorry the prices qoted for the scottish shop is the Premium version.
There is also an AURA version there.I believe this to be the first one made in that series ,since then they have added the Aura and the premium.
No information at all on the web that i can find about the 000-16RGE-Auditorium  normally when you type in the code they are talking about the Aura or the Premium models
.Has anyone owned one at any time  who  can give me an imput on how it plays  and how it stands the test of time
cheers

Thanks for the link I was looking for the Fathers song by the same artist,any one know where i,ll find that  cheers

Hi sorry  yes still writing in japanese money  yes $1280 It not the first one on your list as that is the premium model diferent electric set up.
Has anyone owned one ?
Thanks Royce Drake for the links
Its actually 1399 pounds sterling in a Scottish shop  so even though the pound has collapsed against the yen its almost half price here in Japan to what it is back in Scotland
.Still money aside i would like to know if poss the endurance ,overall quality ,feel and especailly if problems with the pick up system  as it  has been modified so many times or it that just marketing propoganda cheers.

As far as i can understand through the numerous web links and even Martins own web site this guitar is out of production,so it could become rare in times to come,but first and foremost i want a quality guitar that gives out a great sound  and i feel it does that
.just need some reasurances or imput

Hello people
Sorry i posted before a completely different Guitar ,this is the one i have been looking at for sure can people tell me about the fisherman electric on this ,is there problem with feed back
,how do you compensate for it
.Also was this  built between 1999-2003
They are wanting $12800 is that a reasonable price ,it is in perfect condition with original case and to my ears it sounds fantastic.
Also i looked at a Martin -15 which i also liked in another shop but at half the price  both are fairly rare in Japan to get a hold off  so i,m contyemplating on which one to buy.
I couldnt p;lay them side by side so its hard to compare but both felt good in my hands
cheers

Hi folks getting a bit crazy here ,well mixed up
.seemingly there is a RGTE aura  and a RGTE premium i i dont know which one i,ve been looking at.
I have a close up now from u tube of the Aura system  so i will check tomorrow if its the same as thats the one i,ve been reading the reviews about
.Also i believe it was  released in 2005 is that correct
.Here in Japan i think they said it was 5 years old so its a different guitar.Basically if i am following this correctly the newer version has an anti-feedback installed which is way above the older model.
sp people are saying it was better to have the newer model
Its still a fine sounding guitar which ever model it is,but if i,m going to have trouble with feedback.
To confuse the matter even more i played a Martin D-15  which although no electric had a beautifull sound and at half the price.
Can anyone set me right on the model of the 000-16RGTE is it the aura ,PREmium or whatt
hanks Jamie

Hi just noticed on the Martin that it looks like it has lost a bit of its shine  on the top side of the body,i can only think of dampness or in the sunlight too longDoes anyone know?
I,m totally new to the acoustic/electric  set up,,so ifs its water related will this effect the electrics.
I have watched the video on you tube about the pick up system  so i,m stilll trying to get my head around it,but i will experiment the next time i go to check it out.
There is also a TakimineTdp 215 ,but any reviws i,m trying to read  up on are in japanese   but like you said i will try it myself to see how it feels and yes the TAkamine are made in Japan

Thanks

I,m away to practise  for a hour

cheers

is it ok to put either linseed oil or olive oil on the body of the guitar  dont know why i would want to but that popped into my head

yes thanks for the reply.
It seems to be the general consences that it is a fantastic guitar but the volume can be an issue.
Shouldnt be a problem in Japan as the places i might play are like living room   size haha but thats way in the future
.Yes going to the big city Nagoya Monday  to check out more guitars
thanks jamie
